Here's a link to Bud Davisson's website and an article about Charlie Vogelsong's operation. Good Stuff...

The price if streamline tubing is much lower at Wicks than ACS&S. I think there's an extra 10% off on Tuesday mornings or something like that...

Unfortunately Wick's happy hour (I think it was Thursday PM?) is no longer in effect.
However, if your order is a substantial one, you shouldn't be shy about asking for a discount. I did when I ordered my tubing all at once from them, and if I recall correctly, I got 10% off the whole deal.

Dillsburg Airplane Works in Dillsburg Pa. is still in business but will be closing their doors in September. They are currently holding a half price sale on the left over inventory. I called and they emailed me a list of the remaining inventory and I was able to get most of what I needed at a great price. They do not have any 3/4 x .035 but they do have 3/4 x .049 and the have the streamline tubing although I have read that it is slightly different than what is available from other sources.
